FTP User and Password

Hi,
I have a Pentium-based target running VxWorks. It has a disk system (/ata0a)
which contains bootimage etc, and also additional files.

I need to ftp to this from time to time, to place new files there, or to get
files from the disk. I used to be able to log in from my PC by using ftp,
and logging in with no user-name and password. I was then able to get any
file I wanted, and to overwrite any file I wanted by "put".

However, after upgrading the development platform (Tornado 2.2.1), an
updated ftp-component seemed to be included when I build a new boot-image.

Now, the ftp gives me "550 Guest access denied" when I try to place a file
on the VxWorks-system. I use no username or password.
I guess I will have to include a username and password somewhere, but do you
have any idea where I do this?

The "username" and "password" which is set using "iam" or in the bootstrap
parameters, seems to be the username/password used by the VxWorks-system
when connecting to other systems (i.e. as a client), and not as a server.

Thanks for any help!

Best regards,

Jostein

Re: FTP User and Password

I would goal there is a security issue because error code 550 returned.

Re: FTP User and Password

Thanks,
saurav, I think you misunderstood, as it is the VxWorks-system I use as the
ftp-server. I.e. no windows with drop-down menus etc..

However, I found the "problem", which was simply me not reading the right
manual... (too many manuals to look in..).
The ftp username and password (same as for telnet) is specified in the boot
image. So when I used that username/password, I was able to log in.

Thanks again,
jostein
